Epilogue




The best thing about life is that we never know for sure what will happen the following day. Every day is a new opportunity to rewrite our history, either maintaining or modifying what we want and what we don't like.

Diseases and pains are just a chance for reflection. It's in these moments that we can analyze deeper where we are coming from and where we want to go to.

After so many nightmares and so many tears, I finally accepted that I may never change my memories, but I also learned that a bed and antidepressants aren't the most effective remedies for guilt and pain.

Being depressed is reliving the past repeatedly and excessively. So there is no medicine better for past than the present. When we realize that we have the opportunity to live a new day hugging people we love, smiling, looking at the blue sky, listening to the birds and doing what we like and what we need to do, we find out that there is no reason to live in yesterday.

It's a matter of choice, and I chose not to live in the past anymore. I chose to live in the present. To occupy my mind with useful things and my heart with the love that surrounds me, these are really effective medicines.

Maybe I wasted a little time before realizing that, but I didn't give up so I survived one more time. And for a woman who survived that September in Raccoon City, I really could never have given up.

"Alligator to HQ. Do you read?"

"Loud and Clear."

"We're almost at the target's location."

"Copy that."

"Jill, Chris, prepare to drop." Alligator told them.

"Roger that." Chris replied."

Jill was so engrossed in her thoughts that it took her a few seconds to hold Chris' hand to stand up.

Checking her weapons and ammunition, Jill nodded when the wind blew some hair stand over her face. With her right hand she picked up the lockpick and smiled. Her long time friend was active last.

Putting her lockpick back in its place, she approached the door. The helicopter stopped in the air and Chris looked at her. He winked and Jill smiled discreetly. They grabbed their ropes with both hands before looking at each other again.

"Ready, partner?"

"Let's move." Jill replied.

They jumped from the helicopter at the same time. Ready to get one more mission started.

Jill and Chris never know which kind of threat awaits them. If they have a job to do, they will do it and it doesn't matter for them if they'll save millions of people or just one, every life is always unique.

Somehow it makes them feel better knowing their actions against bioterrorism make a difference in the world. Besides that they were happy to work together again, cause before being lovers, they were partners 'till the end'.
